3 Building rules
3.1 Number of bases
On each map, a tribe may build either one main base or one outpost and one water base.
Exception 1: A main base may be combined with an attached water base. In this case the building radius may be extended to a maximum of 400 m.
Exception 2: If a Tribe Tower cannot be operated within the building radius, it may be placed outside it at a suitable location.
Exception 3: One additional Element base is permitted on Aberration or Svartalfheim.
Exception 4: Due to water scarcity, Scorched Earth permits either a main base or an outpost.
A main base must be used regularly and actively. It is the tribe's principal home and should be recognisable as such. It should not remain unfinished or makeshift for an extended period. The admin team may inspect bases that appear unused, contact the tribe and remove structures if the tribe does not respond.
3.3 Outposts and rafts
Outposts that resemble taming traps are removed without notice. Rafts left outside a base are removed without notice.
3.4 Temporary structures
You may temporarily place teleporters outside your base but must remove them immediately after use. The same applies to taming traps.
3.5 Minimum distances
Main bases must be at least 300 m apart, or 200 m on Aberration. Both tribes may agree to a smaller distance provided it causes no noticeable performance problems, such as severe loading stutter. In a dispute, the first tribe to build takes precedence.
3.6 Special rule for Atlantis
Bases on Atlantis may have a maximum diameter of 100 m. Both tribes may agree to a smaller distance between bases if this causes no noticeable performance problems.
3.7 General conduct
Do not place structures solely to block building locations. Play fairly, considerately and with common sense. The admin team may remove violations without warning or comment.
4 Building restrictions
4.1 Building is prohibited inside artifact caves and within at least 200 m of their entrances, including Rockwell's innards. Sleeping bags and temporary storage are exceptions if removed immediately after use. The team may approve exceptions in special cases.
4.2 Keep important routes, ramps and narrow passages open. Unless naturally narrower, a route must be at least as wide as a Behemoth Gate. Gates on these routes must be set to public access.
4.3 Explorer Notes must remain easily accessible to other players.
4.4 Do not build at major resource concentrations, including metal/crystal caves in Ragnarok's desert, beaver spawns and penguin spawns. Admins decide if there is any doubt.
4.5 Do not obstruct important objects, including city terminals, Titan arenas, Plant Species Z, spawn areas, Helena teleportation points, glitches and mission terminals.
4.6 Do not build in areas where OSDs or Element Nodes spawn. Dino leashes are the only permitted means.
4.7 Building is prohibited in Lost Colony's city and on bridges leading into it.
5 Creature trading
5.1 The seller must register every creature trade in Discord #Handelsregister.
5.2 Trades, gifts, swaps and mating with creatures from another tribe all count as creature trading.
5.3 Lending creatures, for example for a boss fight, is prohibited.
5.4 Fertilised eggs count as creatures.
5.5 Reapers, Gigadesmodus, Gachas, Phoenixes, Rhyniognatha and Aureliax cannot be traded.
5.7 Creatures may be traded up to level 300 and must be free of Mutator effects and mutations.
5.7.1 Lending creatures for mating is tolerated, but no stage of the mating process may require the Mutator.
5.8 Shop creatures and their offspring cannot be traded. This also applies to all other items acquired from the shop.
5.9 Do not help with or transfer items needed to tame Rhyniognatha or Aureliax, including pheromones and saddles.
6 Penalties
6.1 Penalties are determined individually according to the severity of the violation.
6.2 Repeated warnings or particularly serious violations may result in a temporary or permanent cluster ban for individual players or entire tribes.
